Arsenal have held talks over a potential transfer for Eberechi Eze
Arsenal have held talks over a move for England forward Eberechi Eze. They could now rival Tottenham in pursuing a deal for the Crystal Palace star who has a £68m clause in his contract.
It is the latest development in Arsenal ’s search for wide options as their sporting director Andrea Berta has held talks with a whole host of agents, players and clubs this summer.
Eze, 26, was actually released by Arsenal as a 13 year old and has admitted it made him a “crying wreck.” But there is now a real possibility he could be ending up back at the Emirates this summer.
Arsenal are desperate to strengthen their wide areas and Eze does fit the bill after enjoying the best season of his life for club and country.
Eze has also been a big target for Tottenham with new manager Thomas Frank a big fan of their wide player.
Tottenham had chased Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo but he is now set for Manchester United and they have moved on with Eze on their list.
Arsenal have spoken to a host of players so it remains to be seen if they actually press the button on Eze - but talks have taken place.
Arsenal have also been chasing Real Madrid star Rodrygo as a wide player and he could be available for £70m but his wages and demands could be huge.
